1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common malignant kidney tumor, the pathogenesis of which remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether caspase-10, matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and total laminin (LM) were involved into the pathogenesis of ccRCC. The levels of caspase-10, MMP-9 and total LM were analyzed by ELISA in tumor tissues and adjacent non-malignant tissues of 27 patients with ccRCC. The results revealed that caspase-10 levels in the tumor tissues were significantly higher than those in the adjacent non-malignant tissues (P<0.05). The MMP-9 levels in the tumor tissues were significantly lower than those in adjacent non-malignant tissues (P<0.01). The total LM levels in tumor tissues revealed no statistical difference with those in the adjacent non-malignant tissues (P=0.757). Additionally, caspase-10 levels were positively correlated with MMP-9 levels (P<0.001), but negatively correlated with total LM levels (P<0.05) in tumor tissues. Correlation analyses with clinical data of patients with ccRCC, revealed that caspase-10 levels (P<0.05) and MMP-9 levels (P<0.001) in tumor tissues were positively correlated with tumor grades of ccRCC, whereas total LM levels were positively correlated with tumor size (P<0.05). The results of the present study suggested that interactions between caspase-10, MMP-9 and LM are likely involved in the pathogenesis of ccRCC. A deeper understanding of the correlation between caspase-10, MMP-9 and LM would aid the clarification of pathogenesis of ccRCC.
